Real Food for Real Kids / Real Food Forward

Giving Kids A Boost
One in three children in Toronto live in poverty. As many as one in seven Canadian children will go to school hungry. Unmet nutritional needs exacerbate the challenges these kids already face in the classroom. Put simply: hungry and malnourished kids can’t learn.
RFRK and the TFSS partner to provide free, nutritious, hot lunches to students at elementary schools in Toronto’s priority neighbourhoods through a program called Real Food Forward (RFF).
RFF turns a little into a lot with its partnership with the TFSS. Since 2013, RFRK provides free, nutritious, hot lunches to students at elementary schools in Toronto’s priority neighbourhoods. The collaboration is built on the shared belief that if the health and well-being of children are improved, then they will do better in school.
